GU1 Wagon TD42t Rattles
G'day all,
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a GU1 ST Wagon with TD42T. every time I get under about 1000 rpm I get this horrid rattling sound which seems to come from the whole car...
I've checked bolts, screws, connections all over but cannot figure it out.
it's had a single mass fly wheel installed with the new clutch... and I can't pinpoint it's source...
Frustrated...
Is it a rattle or more of a growl?
yes, probably best described as a growl...Originally Posted by nissannewby
Normal ...... they all do it.

Yeah without hearing it and by what you have described they all make it. Its hard to be 100% without hearing it.
but it's quite loud - my GU1 2.8TD never did it, ever...
Bearing in mind what NN said about not being 100% certain without hearing it, the 4.2's do have what some describe as a 'growling' and what I would describe as a 'loud shuddering' when under load at low revs, disappears as soon as the revs rise. When I was buying mine an RACV pre purchase test paid for by the car yard reckoned there was something wrong with the gearbox. A second inspection by a 4wd transmission specialist pronounced it in good condition & the noise normal. I used to find it quite irritating but have grown accustomed to it. 'Nissan character'!
Cuppa

why would you be driving it under 1000rpm to much labouring.
over speed bumps, through parking lots etc..
Yea mine does it too, I'm still not convinced mine is normal! First cars ive owned that has made this noise! But yea, disappears when revs get to about 1100 - 1200 rpm
